Biblical Meaning of Peace 

In the Bible, peace is more than just the absence of conflict; it is a state of wholeness and completeness. The Hebrew word for peace, “shalom,” encompasses well-being, prosperity, and tranquillity. Here are some key aspects of biblical peace: 

1. Divine Gift: Peace is a gift from God. Jesus promises His peace to His followers, a peace that is different from what the world offers (John 14:27). 

2. Guarding Hearts and Minds: The peace of God acts as a guard over our hearts and minds, protecting us from anxiety and fear (Philippians 4:6-7). 

3. Trust in God: Perfect peace comes from trusting in God and keeping our minds focused on Him (Isaiah 26:3). 

4. Unity in Christ: Peace is also about unity and harmony within the body of Christ. Believers are called to let the peace of Christ rule in their hearts and to live in peace with one another (Colossians 3:15). 

5. Rest and Safety: Peace brings rest and safety, allowing us to lie down and sleep without fear (Psalm 4:8). 

6. Constant Presence: The Lord of peace is always with us, providing peace in every situation (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
